Click play, starts to launch, screen turns black as if the music and pics are about to start and then nothing... client crash.
Edit: Beta worked fine until I downloaded profit 2 days ago. So I'm ASSUMING profit is the source of the problem. I just did a factory restore and all my files are up to date including java, .net and drivers. Oh and this started happening when they did the skin changes with the update 2 days ago.

Installing or repairing a DirectX 9.0c install has helped several folks I've spoken with about this same problem. The link below is for 9.0c which will not downgrade a newer DirectX version.

Its easy to test if something is a Profit UI Problem. Just move your eq2.ini file out of your game folder and you will log into the game using the Default UI.

Profit doesn't change any game files when its not being loaded before logging into the game.

Now for what can cause the Directx problems to just suddenly popup who knows. The info about reinstalling it is because many people had beta login problems such as you described and were only using the Default UI.
